If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.

I Also Guestblog

Every Tuesday and Thursday I'm the guestblogger for NYC Educator. My series "What No One Will Tell You When You Come to Work for the DOE" is archived over there.

The addition of new sidekick Miss Eyre, who can be as earnest as NYC Educator is acid, makes for a perfect blogging marriage. If you’re a teacher, you know these guys.--Robert Pondiscio of the Core Knowledge blog, nomination for the Best of Edublogs 2009
